Option: It prevents destructive flooding from the Yangtze River and produces cheaper and cleaner energy

Explanation:

The Three George Dam has been one of China's most expensive projects. The Three Gorges Dam has been the world's largest power station, which can generate about 22,500 MW. The dam also stops floods by the Yangtze River, which happens every 10 years and destroys thousands of homes.
